From Fund Raising to Hell Raising: New Roles for Parents.

Fege, Arnold F.

Educational Leadership, v57 n7 p39-43 Apr 2000

Instead of inviting public engagement, the current educational system reinforces a hierarchical, bureaucratic pattern that gives neither students nor parents an official voice. Today's parents are demanding, more market-oriented, and organizing on the Internet. Strategies for fully involving parents in improvements for the common good are discussed. (MLH)
